Who the FLRA helps

The Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) covers most federal employees. But it does not cover:

Non-federal employees: including private-sector employees, contractors, or employees of state or local governments.

Employees of certain federal agencies: including the Postal Service, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Secret Service.

Certain categories of employees: including supervisors, management officials, and members of the uniformed services in their military capacity.

Is the FLRA the right agency to help with my problem?

The FLRA handles only labor-management issues for non-postal, federal civilian employees. Here is a list of other common employee issues and the agencies that may be most appropriate to contact.
